NAT

Coming next

NTS (National Testing Service)

One test, eligibility across every NTS-associated university — for undergraduate admission.

NAT (National Aptitude Test) is run by NTS. A single sitting makes a candidate eligible for admission across all NTS-associated universities and degree-awarding institutes in that subject group.

NAT runs in two tiers: NAT-I (for 12 years of education / FSc-equivalent) with sub-types by subject group (pre-engineering, pre-medical, computer science, arts, general science, commerce), and NAT-II (for 14 years of education) with its own sub-types.

Testing cadence

NTS runs NAT roughly every month, year-round — one of the most frequent tests on this list.

Why prepare for NAT with eStudyGate

  • Timed, full-length mocks built to the real section structure and pacing — not disconnected practice questions.
  • Every answer is blind-verified and comes with an explanation for every option, not just the correct one.
  • Analytics that show exactly where marks are lost — by topic, by mistake type, by pacing under pressure.
  • A percentile rank against other test-takers, so "74%" turns into "you’d beat 8 out of 10 candidates."
  • Affordable, mobile-first, and built for Pakistan’s exams specifically — not a generic imported test bank.

NAT prep is coming.

We're building NAT the same way as GAT — timed mocks, weak-topic analytics, a percentile rank. Join the list and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.
